My cat has been diagnosed with FIV, has he got feline AIDS? My cat has been diagnosed with FIV, has he got feline AIDS? A positive FIV test simply means the cat has been infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Being infected with FIV is not the same as having feline AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome). Feline AIDS (FAIDS) describes the terminal stages of disease associated with FIV infection that may not occur for many years, and does not invariably develop in all infected cats.

Forced Expiratory Volume and Forced Vital Capacity - Topic Overview Forced expiratory volume (FEV) measures how much air a person can exhale during a forced breath. The amount of air exhaled may be measured during the first (FEV1), second (FEV2), and/or third seconds (FEV3) of the forced breath. Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the total amount of air exhaled during the FEV test.he amount of air exhaled may be measured during the first (FEV1), second (FEV2), and/or third seconds (FEV3) of the forced breath.
